Essential Oils Can Effect Your Mood Or Emotions – Know Which One To Use

Smelling the fragrance of a rose can bring healing and elevate one’s mood. Even when the scent is too faint to notice healing is taking place. The sense of smell facilitated through the olfactory nerve invites the fragrance into certain regions of the brain, enabling the body to process them naturally.

Just inhaling a fragrance will bring healing to the body be-cause with pure therapeutic essential oils the molecules are small enough to bypass the blood-brain barrier and reach down at the cellular level to bring healing. Regular inhalation of essential oils stimulates the limbic region of the brain and encourages the natural release of the human growth hormone (HGH).

With 1,000 sensors in the nose, it can identify 10,000 scents. And because the nose is wired differently that the other four senses, it carries molecules directly into the emotional center of the brain where traumatic memories are stored. Essential oils are a vehicle by which repressed emotions can be released.

The Hebrew word for “smell” is reyach, and this shares the same root word for “spirit,” which is ruach. Yahweh was moved to compassion through the sense of smell as in the account of Noah’s offering after the flood: “And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD… and offered burnt offerings… and the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake” (Genesis 8:20-21).

Essential oils make a great tool for aiding with emotions. Essential oils can be helpful with creating calm when a person is angry or hysterical or maybe you just need a lift when you are tired after a long day. Here is a quick checklist of which essential oil to use for each mood.

Spikenard Essential Oil Puts Insomnia To Bed

The other night I fell asleep like I normally do and about ten minutes later the phone rang and that’s all it took to make me one of the 64 million other Americans staring at the ceiling. Frustrated with my tossing and turning, my wife suggested I go to our website and find what essential oil is good for insomnia.

I found Spikenard essential oil helps promote sleep. So I broke out the Spikenard and tapped out a couple of drops into my hand and rubbed some on the bottom of my feet and before long I was cutting some serious Zzzz’s. As I drifted off to sleep, the thought occurred to me, “How many others have this problem, but don’t know about this wonderful natural sleep aid?”

I never had a problem getting to sleep before and never gave much thought to the problem of Insomnia. I knew to avoid caffeinated drinks late in the day, so I made it a rule not to drink any after 4:00. After doing a little research on the topic, I find out that’s only part of the problem. Fear, stress and anxiety are big contributors to those not able to get a good nights sleep. With today’s economy I’m sure the number is increasing.

Insomnia is defined by the experts as: the inability to get to or stay asleep and the result of the lack of quality or quantity of sleep. Which makes for a not-so-good next day. Most sleeplessness occurs in the early part of the night. Sleeplessness which occurs later in the night or just before normal time of waking up, could be caused by depression.

According to Lexicon-Biology.com; Melatonin is a molecule manufactured by a gland of the brain that functions as a hormone. It influences the sleep-wake cycle by acting according to the day-night alternation. Children rarely have problems with insomnia because their bodies produce a sufficient amount of this hormone to keep them asleep. Now us older folk our bodies do not produce the same levels of melatonin as when we were younger. It just happens that Spikenard essential helps with that problem.

Spikenard oil, is pale yellow in color with a medium viscosity and has an earthy warm aroma. It is an aromatic herb with rhizome root which is ground into a powder and then steam distilled to extract the precious oil. The technical name for Spikenard is Nardostachys jatamansi and is of the Valerianaceae botanical family. Originally from the Himalayan Mountains of India it expanded into China and Japan . Incense traders traversed thousands of miles through the holy land, Egypt and far into the Roman Empire .

One of the main reasons for Spikenard’s popularity is its high concentration of Sesquiterpenes. Oils that are high in Sesquiterpenes work down at the sub-cellular level, which affects the membrane fluidity and allows oxygen transfer. It also can access the DNA in the cell which can erase information in the memory of the cell. This is an important step to setting the stage for reprogramming the cell’s DNA to its original intent.

So when that insomnia keeps you up let Spikenard put it to bed.

Spikenard Essential Oil

Spikenard comes from a very rare plant that is usually blended with olive oil for anointing acts of consecration, dedication, and worship.  The Greek word for “Spikenard” means “genuine or pure.” 

There are three accounts in the Scriptures of Yeshua being anointed with Spikenard, found in Luke 7:36-38, Mark 14:3 and in John 12:1-3.[1]

Pure Spikenard is a very costly spice and the word “nard,” used in the King James Version, is from the Hebrew word nard meaning “light.”  The Scriptures describe Yeshua in Mark 9:3, when He was transfigured and His whiteness was beyond any earthly whiteness.[2]

Those desiring to become the spotless Bride of Messiah must walk in purity and light, burying sins at the stake.  With His life broken, He doesn’t leave believers alone to “waste away.”   Instead, the oil, symbolic of the inner working of the Ruach HaKodesh, has been poured out, so believers can live a life that is rich with a sweet, heavenly fragrance.  Song of Solomon 1:12 says, “While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.”

The King is sitting, symbolic of His finished work at the cross.  He invites His Bride to come and join Him for a feast at His table.  Here is a picture of the Bride and her fragrance is emanating out of her spirit in worship to the King’s provision.  It is a heavenly fragrance all should possess. 

Solomon’s prophecy was fulfilled a thousand years later in John 12:3, where the Bible tells how Spikenard was used to anoint Yeshua, the pure and spotless Lamb, just days before His death and burial: “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.”

Some of the disciples were very indignant with the “waste” of costly oil, as it may have cost this woman as much as a whole year’s wages.  But Yeshua rebuked them and said she had done a good work, preparing Him for His death.  And her deed would be remembered wherever the Gospel would be preached.

Therapeutic/Medicinal Uses

Spikenard is known to be antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, a deodorant, and a skin tonic.  It aids in Candida, insomnia, menstrual difficulties, migraines, nausea, rashes, and scar tissues.  Spikenard is 93% sesquiterpenes in content, and can erase incorrect information in the DNA or cellular memory.[3]

Dr. Dietrich Gumbel has reported Spikenard being helpful with the heart and circulatory system.[4]  It is very relaxing and acts as a natural sedative.

How Essential Oils Work

Clinical research has discovered that essentials oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance. Electrical properties and charges of essential oils carry electrons or negative ions, which are healing and healthful. A healthy human body ranges from 62 to 68 MHz. The air breathed, food eaten, and other factors cause frequency levels to drop. Examples of the Taino Technology study reveal: At 58 MHz cold and flu symptoms may appear. At 55 MHz diseases like Candida and arthritis may take hold. At 42 MHz cancer may set in. At 25 MHz death begins. The essence or life-blood of the plant carries a live fre-quency—ranging from 52 MHz to 320 MHz. Using therapeutic grade essential oils on a daily basis keeps body frequencies at a healthy level, prevents disease, and even reverses damage. Research has shown that the number one cause for depres-sion is the loss of oxygen around the pineal and pituitary glands. They have also discovered that with careful application of these oils to the soles of the feet, it enables the oil to reach every cell in the body within 20 minutes. This may be why people in biblical times lived so long. Principal essential oils contain various constituents, including these three compounds: phenylpropanoids, sesquiterpenes, and monoterpenes. These three constituents are unique to essential oils and are produced naturally by the plant with the intelligence and capacity to do the following: Phenylpropanoids – cleanse the receptor sites. Sesquiterpenes – erase the incorrect information in the DNA or cellular memory. Monoterpenes – reprogram the cellular intelligence back to God’s original plan with correct information. Sesquiterpenes carry oxygen to the brain and stimulate the pineal and pituitary glands. Three of the four oils in the world with the highest known concentration of sesquiterpenes are biblical oils: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, and Spikenard.
